8.1 - Bluetooth audio EQ support

[nasellok]

Can anyone with the sdk installed tell me if EQ will be available via Bluetooth headphones in 8.1? I got moto cordless headphones last year, and its one of the best tech purchases ive ever made. Only thing is that the eq. settings in WP don't apply to Bluetooth. If not, its not the end of the world, I just want to add some extra punch to the tunes.

I don't think we'll know for sure until 8.1 is released, but that will be happening really soon.

It seems likely that even if it isn't supported at a system level that an app could play back audio with EQ settings by making the equalizations before sending the audio to the system for output.

Alot of the DACs in Bluetooth headsets, especially those under $150 are sub par compared to the ones in our windows phones. That being said at this point its actually better to still use wired headsets.
